I really think he is the number two QB in the draft. And the drop off after that is significant. (With the exception of Manziel, who just scares the shit out of me.) I really really don't want any part of Derek Carr. Even if he is no relation to David, the name itself is enough to give me pause. (Admittedly that's a stupid reason but I can't shake it) That said, It seems every mock is mocking him to us. I know it's extremely early and predicting the draft is a crap shoot at best. (Just look at last year's Vikings draft alone) at this point in the process however I really like Bortles.

From what I saw of him in the bowl game I thought he was nice. Nothing to get super excited about. I will say this though, I honestly have absolutely no idea where we are going to go with our picks. In years past you kind of had a feel for need and while I know we need qb and dt/lb im just super interested in seeing where we go with that

He's got some accuracy problems because of a mixture of his body movements and timing, but he's a very good decision maker and probably has the highest football IQ of any of the quarterbacks in the draft this year.

I really like him, but he is a risky pick--his development will completely depend on who our new OC/QB coach is. If they're very good, then he could be an elite quarterback (I'm saying this because coming out of college he has vision of the field at Peyton Manning levels). If they're very bad (Musgraaaaaveeeee), he could be a bust.

My best reference for how he could turn out to be a great quarterback is Cam. Cam, to be frank, was not that accurate a college quarterback. He relied on a lot of short passes to bump his completion % up--but in the offseason before his rookie year, he worked really hard on his accuracy, improving it vastly.

I dot know. I just have this weird thing with names that coincidentally has worked more often than not... But can you imagine a parking lot full of people wearing purple Bortles jerseys before a playoff game? Go with Manziel. Especially if the league starts to try to emulate chip Kelly, which I assume they will, in some capacity (like a more established wild cat, which thankfully has mostly died out).

I don't know how to feel about Bortles as a prospect. He has some a good arm and looks accurate sometimes, but from what I've seen, he's footwork is pretty poor, he doesn't handle pressure very well, and he is inaccurate at times as well.

Of course, by all reports he can read a defense and gets through his progressions well when given time, which is extremely important.
